Alfresco not starting... context initalization failed

jonjo

Hi everybody,
I'm having issues to install Alfresco on my CentOS server.
Whenever I try to start it using ./alf_start.sh , it writes "context initalization failed" into my catalina.out.
Attached is the full Alresco.log and catalina.out
Catalina.out:

I have the exact same problem.
I downloaded and installed Alfresco Community Edition 3.2 and installed it with WCM. The error message above about the missing abstractPropertyBackedBean is shown at start-up and I can't access any of Alfresco's screens.

I tried to frig the wcm-bootstrap-context file since that is where the abstractPropertyBackedBean is referred to, but that didn't help.

It seems, from Google, that the bean, were it to exist, might refer to org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.AbstractPropertyBackedBean, but I've searched through all the jar files and files and can't find reference to either.

I'm at a total loss. Any help truly appreeciated

I have the exact same problem too.

Have you fixed the problem since you've post yours message ?

Thanks

mrogers

Your wcm-bootstrap may be out of line with the code.

Can you post your wcm-bootstrap-context.xml.
And confirm which version of Alfresco you are using.

Thanks for your interest !

Here, my wcm-bootstrap-context.xml :
